Thinking requires a visible facts which is brought to mind. Thoughts that results in strongly grounded evidences have an importance which can lead to reflective thoughts, or do a smooth touch on conscious. “Reflective thought is active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the ground that support it and the further conclusions to which it tends” (Dewey, 1910, 6). Reflective thinking search for requiring, for the solution of perplexity, for the state of hesitation, make one dare to think. This confusion can be answered by “one’s own previous experience and prior knowledge” (Ibid, 12). If the activity goes smoothly and if the event once happened is easily accepted, without looking for the evidence and if recognised automatically then we can not talk about reflectivity. Reflective thinking should give us a worry, a shock, disturbance, but also involves readiness, clarity of purpose, give us an idea of meaning used as a tool of judgement, a suspension which is sometimes so long and painful process, a systematic and protracted inquiry with which we can master various methods of searching for exploration of experiential learning. When we consider those essentials for thinking and when we become moved not only by instincts we can slowly come out from Plato’s cave and stay out of our mental hole and be driven by breath, sun, action, perceived facts to be able to plant a seed and open more possibilities to learn something valuable for life. With that qualities and willingness to engage ourselves in cognitive activities and doubting we can enter deeper into dance and movement.
How is your reflecting on so far? did something change in your way of thinking, living, writing, seeing the world? or dance

How will what we are doing affect or maybe influence on people who are not us? (i mean here on dance, movement teachers, artists, performers), how they will feel, or what they know in the course of what happens and how we can carry out the people involved , the spaces, the time in order to make sense of experience, ideas...and how to entwine an element of quality there? how we create the truth, the real experience? All about ethics is make sure people do not get hurt, insult (this brings me to Plato(w...

MODULE 3//Sept 27 2021 -WHAT AM I DOING?

WHAT AM I REALLY DOING? Tonight's we had a very useful Module 3 discussion about what we are doing in our research, how we are framing, finding clarity, scratching the surface, focus on relevant, how we specify what we are doing....so after the discussion and really thankful after some clear questions, i would like to say about my project... Still my research title will not be my setting stone and I will be flexible and open as much as I can..  As part of my 2 month physically active researching period on a project Embodied flow in motion I am interested in exploring embodied flow in motion in 7 phases (slow flow, free flow, bound flow, open-spiral fluidity, fluid touch, floating sound, imagery flow, flow re-patterning) through embodied movement practices. In the context of this research, for me embodiment through fluidity has many stages and possibility to achieve fluid movement requires knowledge and experience of moving the body according to feelings, present state of min...
